The only times I have tried to transplant these kind of iris they all

promptly died. So, my question is: which season is best to dig these up?
Right now they have small new shoots emerging.

I concur with Peter; the only time of year when I've been able to transplant
them successfully is October. Even then they readily succumb to root rot,
so it's best to soak them in a fungicide solution before you plant.

In my experience, once transplanted they are incredibly tough, but they hate
being transplanted.
